Alternative food production technologies are being developed to meet the global increase in population and demand for a more sustainable supply. Aquaponics, combined method of vegetable fish production, is an emerging technology that widely regarded as sustainable. Yet, there has been limited research on its environmental performance, especially at commercial scale. In this study, life cycle an...

Aquaponics, the water-reusing production of fish and crops, is taken as an example to investigate consequences upscaling a nature-based solution in circular city. We developed upscaled-aquaponic scenario for German metropolis Berlin, analysed impacts, studied system dynamics. To meet annual fish, tomato, lettuce demand Berlin’s 3.77 million residents would require approximately 370 aquaponic fa...

We determined the number of coliform bacteria, Escherichia coli, yeast, and molds that may occur in system, quality lettuce grown aquaponics for consumers from sensory, colour, texture points view. The amount yeast mold plant growing medium (hydroton) water was 4.67 log CFU/cm2 2.25 CFU/mL at end six-week experiment, respectively. bacteria E. coli system found to be 2.57 3.46 coliform, 0.75 0.3...

Aquaculture is an agricultural technology that combines aquaculture (fish farming activities) with hydroponic activities (planting crops without soil media) in one circulation. The most important element the existence of fish, plants, and bacteria. These three elements form a mutually beneficial relationship or symbiotic mutualism. main purpose system to maintain water quality reduce ammonia le...

Global fisheries are insufficient to meet the rising seafood demand of a rapidly growing population. Aquaponics – co-production fish and produce in water-circulating system where naturally fertilize plants, which turn filter water for offers potential solution sustainable aquaculture. Despite ecological promise aquaponics, relatively little is known about impact this novel production method on ...

ABSTRAKBakteri membentuk bioflok, menghasilkan protein mikroba dan memungkinkan untuk mendaur ulang pakan yang tidak terpakai. Flok terdiri atas organisme seperti bakteri, plankton, jamur, alga, partikel tersuspensi mempengaruhi struktur nutrisinya. Pembentukan bioflok bertujuan meningkatkan pemanfaatan nutrien, menghindari stres lingkungan predasi. Akuaponik merupakan kombinasi sistem akuakult...
